Description

Start your day with a complementary morning pickup from your chosen location, then relax in your private air-conditioned vehicle on the 1-hour drive to Sanjay Gandhi National Park, where the Kanheri Caves are located. The 109 basalt rock caves were carved between the 1st century BC and 9th century AD, and the site served for more than 1,500 years as a center for Buddhist monks. After Kanheri caves , Dharavi Slum tour begins. Next, prepare for a 1.5-hour walk inside the Dharavi slums. Find out why Dharavi is the is the heart of small-scale industries in Mumbai, with an annual turnover of approximately $665 million. Experience the frenetic activity of the area and marvel at the small spaces in which recycling, clay pot making, embroidery, baking, soap manufacturing, leather tanning, papad (poppadum) making, and many other activities take place. As well as discovering the industry of the Dharavi slums, pass by residential areas to get a feel of how people live. Sense the community spirit and diversity in an area where people from all over India and from all religions live.
